The 367-kilometre loop through the Bamenda Highlands that connects Bamenda with Kumbo, Nkambe, Wum, and Bafut — passing chiefdom palaces, crater lakes, waterfalls, and traditional villages. In peaceful times it is one of the great African road trips; the drive takes three to five days with overnight stops in chiefdom guest houses.
Since 2017 the road has been intermittently closed by the conflict in the anglophone regions and travel has been hazardous. Check current security advice before attempting the loop, and do not travel after dark even in calm periods. Land Cruiser, plenty of fuel, and a local driver are essential.
